    The best aquarium experience
    Royce_P
    , May 2022
    Great experience, it’s awesome that the aquarium catches, displays, and then release the aquatics animals. Really good experience, the last part of the whale sphere was so cool. Definitely a sweet find for a family outing.

    , Apr. 2022
    Great tour of Hawaii sea creatures and reefs. Well presented and interesting. It gets better and better with the large glassed-in spaces. And then: A glass tunnel, and a max theater experience. Four of us were blown away by the whale presentation. A perfect follow up to Whale Watching and finding the day before. Whales!!!!

    Prepare for a few hassles if you visit the Maui Aquarium
    Dano_R
    , Apr. 2022
    Reservation system only allowed for 8 members. We had 9 (4 adults, 2 senior, 3 kids). So, you have to cc another person at the desk. Also the parking idea is terrible. Not clear when it says public parking but its still not free. We wasted time to go all the way back to car and just left it. No ticket/tow. Staff where very helpful and friendly.

    Aloha Dano, We're sorry to hear about the obstacles you encountered during your visit. Our website does not have a cap on how many tickets can be reserved, however, Viator may have different rules. Regardless, we're so sorry you had to go through that extra trouble! As for the parking issue, Maui Ocean Center does not control the parking in Māʻalaea Triangle, but we're so glad you had a great experience with our staff and found them to be helpful! Mahalo for taking the time to leave a review, and we hope you enjoyed your visit overall.

    BEST AQUARIUM I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!
    Barbara_M
    , Apr. 2022
    Loved the 3D film about the whales. I was, however, disappointed that it didn’t last longer! Perfect sequel to the day before when we went whale watching. Also loved watching the diver feeding the sharks,etc. Got some great video, especially of him interacting with the children in the audience as well as waving me as he saw me recording, and showed me a sharks tooth. He was great!
